He is the most famous golfer in the world, but who is Tiger Woods’ son Charlie Woods?

Charlie Woods is Tiger’s only son and was born in 2009.

His full name is Charlie Axel Woods. He was named after former PGA Tour pro Charlie Sifford.

• Who is Tiger Woods’ daughter?

• Who is Tiger Woods’ caddie?

During his speech after receiving the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2009, Tiger said of the former PGA Tour pro: “I always called him ‘Grandpa,’ because he was like the grandpa I never had. And I ended up becoming so close with him that I ended up naming my son, Charlie, after him.”

Tiger Woods’ other child is daughter Sam. Their mother is Tiger’s ex-wife Elin Nordegren.

Charlie Woods, meanwhile, has long set out to follow in his father’s footsteps in golf.

The teenager has apparently also been a keen footballer, but has hit the headlines alongside his father for his ability on the course having become the youngest competitor to play in the PNC Championship with Tiger in 2020.

• Who is Tiger Woods’ coach?

Charlie Woods has been an ever present at the tournament since while playing high school golf.

In February 2024, Charlie came up short in his bid to qualify for his first PGA Tour event at a pre-qualifying round for the Cognizant Classic.

A few months later, he missed the cut at the US Junior Amateur Championship.

In the 2024 PNC tournament in Orlando, Woods’ son Charlie made his first ever hole-in-one. A clip of the ace later went viral on social media.

“It was awesome,” Charlie said after the Woods pairing ultimately lost in a playoff to Bernhard Langer and his son Jason. “No-one made a mistake today, so that was some of the most fun I’ve ever had.

“On top of that, I made an ace. I don’t think I can top that.”

Tiger was certainly a proud father after Charlie’s ace.

“He has gotten better at every facet of the game,” the 15-time major champion said. “That’s a commitment to practicing and developing as a player. I think that most of us forget he’s only 15 years old.

“I know he’s been doing this in front of the media for a long time but, being only 15, I think it’s incredible what he’s been able to accomplish so far and the ceiling that he has is unlimited.”
